the winsor block is the better bet for high horsepower, it can be built to over 450 cui, and the svo blocks are safe over 1500 hp. just ask any 5.0 racer.. the 302 is hard to beat.. and if you are budget minded, tubular stainless TT headers for the winsor retail for 300 bucks on ebay..
In my oppinion the best bet is to stick with a 302 and do a clean and well engineered turbosetup.. and if you dont like the ford distributor then instal direct fire ignition.. it is not the engine model that impress me its the craftsmanship in the install.. look at a nelson TT sbc.. its a smallblock chevy, like 60 million others, but im hard pressed to find an engine id rather have..
